About Robert Lindberg

My name is Robert Lindberg. I am a married father of six children. I am currently in formation for the permanent diaconate for the Diocese of Austin. I am a convert to the Catholic faith, joining the church at Easter 1989. I am slowly reordering my life as the Spirit is leading me. I do not know what all God has planned for me but I trust that he is a Good, Good Father and that he loves me.

I have been so blessed to see God’s love revealed through people here on earth. This reflection has been a recent revelation from events 34 years ago. It is important to take the time to look back at our lives to see more fully what God has for us in our past experiences. It was April 25,… [Read More]

God, where have you gone? It’s morning, the sun is just starting to cut through the darkness of the night and I find myself restless in bed. I will have to get up and start my day soon. The rooster crows letting me know that it is time, time to get my morning routine going…. [Read More]

Being intentional doesn’t just happen! I remember some old movies where the father would ask the young man, “What are your intentions with my daughter?” I have had a lot of thought and discussion about this whole idea of being intentional. In my last post, I talked about goals and how it is important to… [Read More]

What is your goal? During this time of Easter we read story after story about the life of the early church and more precisely about the lives of the apostles. What made them so effective? What motivated them? Thousands of people converted in a single day, people were cured and they faced persecution bravely. I… [Read More]

So, my last couple of Lents have been, lack luster, so to say. I mean I went through the motions and all that but have just had the sense that I could do more / better. A couple of weeks before Lent this year, I started praying and planning how I was going to make… [Read More]

Recently, I attended training for street evangelization. At the end of the training class, we went out into downtown Austin to put this into practice. This experience reminds me of a middle school dance. It all started with spending the day learning to dance. We went through the mechanics and even tried out a few… [Read More]
